Multiple Events of Dispersal and Radiation of the Tribe Miconieae (Melastomataceae) in the Caribbean (2008, methodology): “…Pilg., and Wurdastom Wallnofer, which were placed in the Miconieae (Renner, 1993) still needs to be investigated, while the capsularfruited Eriocnema Naudin, traditionally placed in the tribe Microliceae, has been found to be sister to the Miconieae (Fritsch et al., 2004; Martin et al., 2008).”
Phylogeny of Miconia (Melastomataceae): Patterns of Stamen Diversification in a Megadiverse Neotropical Genus (2008, methodology): “The remaining species of this clade, which are from eastern Brazil, belong mainly to Leandra, but a few species of Clidemia, Ossaea, and Pleiochiton are also placed here.”
Phylogenetic relationships and distribution of New World Melastomeae (Melastomataceae) (2013, background): “…with herbarium specimens, such as the addition of proteinase-K (30 mL per extraction to the lysis buffer) and/or b-mercaptoethanol (30 mL per extraction to the lysis buffer), with longer incubation periods at lower temperatures (6–24 h at 42 °C) (Martin et al., 2008; Michelangeli et al., 2008).”
